Given his ability to stand out in a track meet of a game, a spot at Oregon -- which would bring Trey Griffey back to the Northwest, where his father played his best baseball -- might not be as much of a stretch as some had previously imagined.

"Right now I'm just taking calls from colleges and when the season's over I'll start visiting colleges that have been calling me," Griffey told the Sentinel.

"It's a big thing, our coach tells us," Griffey told the Sentinel about his elusive ability after he makes a catch. "He says, 'If you catch a 3-yard pass, make it 5, get 5 yards out of it. That's all you gotta do. Because 5 yards and 5 yards, that's a first down right there,' so that's a big thing that we are focused on.

"I'm looking forward to the playoff atmosphere. Really just getting to play against some of the best teams in the state. You don't always play against the best teams in the regular season, but now we'll be playing the best each time out."

If he keeps putting up numbers like he did on Friday, it seems the forthcoming playoffs will hardly be the last time Trey Griffey steps into that tense, playoff atmosphere.
